Probably the advantage of having nothing else to do until teatime, excusing the cynicism please!The inbound Eastern Airways Saab from Southampton did well to get in, after holding overhead for a good 50 mins or so.

Difference is most of those destinations have mang flights a day, we only have one so it will be a much larger impact especially for business passengers. If your flight to FCO’s cancelled they will be another in maybe less than an hour with BA.yes as noted lots of fog at LHR which has slowed things down considerably leading to a number of cancellations. there was also fog at LBA too which didn't help.

Not quite Snowman, it was part of the package that gave us our new longer runway, so was in place from 1984, some 12 years before we finally removed the shackles of having to close at bedtime. I think we all share your frustration Fight2Win, but as previously explained, moving the touch down point back to where it used to be isn't something that can be done 'just like that'. Firstly, it will need planning approval and you can only imagine the grief the airport will get from those at the Horsforth end who will suddenly find aircraft are a good deal lower as they pass over their houses. Secondly, doing so would require the complete alteration of the airfield and approach lighting - lighting that is still being replaced with new LED systems, and thirdly, it would mean a complete change to the ILS system. All hugely expensive and hugely disruptive if you want to keep the airport operating at the same time. I have spoken to LBA's ATC chief's on numerous occasions over the years, asking about this, and the general consensus has always been that they only wish they could! Just as they only wish they could have Cat 3 on runway 14.fight to win
i would have thought if it was possible to move it back it would have have been done by,dont forget its present position was part of the package which gave lba its much fought over extended hours agreement with leeds council.

And that is from an airport who apparently can do no wrong lol. Nice to see even though it is Jet2 and just the oneJet2 Boeing 737-800, G-JZHR is diverting into Leeds operating the “EXS67G” Faro to Manchester due to Fog on other side of hill.
